Lenny Bruce Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family
Leonard Alfred Schneider (October 13, 1925 – August 3, 1966), better known by his stage name Lenny Bruce, was an American stand-up comedian, social critic and satirist.He was renowned for his open, free-style and critical form of comedy which integrated politics, religion, sex, and vulgarity. His private life was marked by substance abuse and promiscuity as well as efforts to prevent his wife from working as a stripper. His 1964 conviction in an obscenity trial was followed by a posthumous pardon, the first in New York State history, by then-Governor George Pataki in 2003. He paved the way for future outspoken counterculture-era comedians, and his trial for obscenity, in which – after being forced into bankruptcy – he was eventually pardoned, is seen as a landmark trial for freedom of speech in the US.

| 1 | I won't say ours was a tough school, but we had our own coroner. We used to write songs like, "What I'm going to do if I grow up". |
| 2 | A lot of people say to me, "Why did you kill Christ?". I dunno. It was one of those parties, got out of hand, you know. |
| 3 | The only truly anonymous donor is the guy who knocks up your daughter. |
| 4 | Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God. |
| 5 | [on André Previn's shock at being presented with a stolen set of books] You're not thinking straight, man. If I had 90 bucks and spent it in order to get you a present, what would be a big deal in that? It wouldn't even make a dent in me! But to steal 'em for you--I'm already on parole, man, and if I had got caught, I would have gone back to jail. Now that's what I call giving you a present. |
| 6 | I'll die young, but it's like kissing God. |
| 7 | If God made the body, and the body is dirty, then the fault lies with the manufacturer. |
| 8 | Marijuana will be legal some day, because the many law students who now smoke pot will someday become Congressmen and legalize it in order to protect themselves. |
| 9 | I credit the motion picture industry as the strongest environmental factor in molding the children of my day. |
| 10 | "Life" is a four-letter word. |
| 11 | I hate small towns because once you've seen the cannon in the park there's nothing else to do. |
| 12 | All my humor is based on destruction and despair. If the whole world were tranquil, without disease and violence, I'd be standing in the breadline--right in back of J. Edgar Hoover. |
